Low Progesterone... advice

Oh ladies, like many of you, I feel so exhausted by this process. My Dr. called me today and told me my 7dpo test came back at 6.6. She asked me to come back in right away for another test to verify if I'm ovulating. I did and I'm now waiting on results. Part of me feels like this is good news because now we've identified a problem that can be fixed. Have any if you experienced this? What's next? Clomid? Progesterone supplements?

i just did my first round of clomid, i didn't O, so my progesterone was really low 0.6. what other test did they do to see if you are Oing? if you didn't they will probably give you clomid, i feel like that is their standard go to. it is definitely good news, you can't fix a problem you didn't know about, so now you know.

Dr. is testing progesterone again and. i'm assuming she is testing it a few days after my initial test to see if it goes up? perhaps she thinks i wasn't 7dpo for the first test, despite what my temp chart says. hoping clomid works. my sister in law used it and got pregnant on her first try... this process is the pits. =(

Normally, they would check it again on day 21 (presumably 7 days after o) as that's when it will be at its highest. Testing again before o isn't going to give you much info I don't think since progesterone isn't high until the luteal phase. Don't stress about it until you know for sure that you're low - I thought for sure I was and then it turns out mine's fine. Also, do you temp? That will tell you whether or not you're ovulating.

@ilovefishes Thanks for your input. I do temp, and they are all over the place. I've already have one Chemical Pregnancy and I spot three/four days before AF. All signs of low progesterone. My Dr. did the initial test at 7dpo so i'm not sure why she called for another one, but we'll see. 6.6 is definitely low. Grrr....

I had low progesterone before conceiving my 1st lo, mine was 7. The dr. said we'd give it one more month and then we'd start clomid, but I got pregnant the next month so never had to start the clomid. Now TTC for the 2nd time we've been trying for 6 months and I'm wondering if I should get tested again...hope your results come back that you're ovulating!

My numbers were like .5 consistently to a point they determined that it just wasn't happening for me. One day it strangely did but my number was 11.8. I was placed on progesterone 1 time a day at 200 mg and I'm now expecting a baby boy :) if they give u supplements don't freak out when you read the label bc it is safe to use and I used it until my second trimester.
